Annie Potts headed the cast in Elliot Shoenman's comedic drama about a widow trying to help her children, and herself, deal with the mess her husband left behind when he jumped into the Hudson River. The play is based on Elliot's book, Nobody's Business, which is the story of his search for information about his father, who committed suicide in New York in 1964; and it's the playwright's hope that this play will be helpful to people who have experienced this kind of loss. The question posed by the play is: who is the victim, the person who commits suicide, or the survivors — or is the answer "everyone"?
